Veggie Awards 2013 - "Undoubtedly the best macaroni we've ever tried, including homemade"

We are always happy to receive compliments - who isn’t, if they’re being honest? But we were particularly excited when we found out that our Macaroni Cheese had received one of Cook Vegetarian Magazine’s Veggie Awards 2013. The Veggie Awards celebrate flavour, versatility and innovation in the world of meat-free food. Thanks to the 1, 716 readers who voted in the Veggie Awards, our Macaroni received a ‘Highly Commended’ Accolade in the Best Ready Meal category.

Cook Vegetarian certainly did flatter us, writing that, "This dish is undoubtedly the best macaroni we've ever tried, including homemade, and we like to consider ourselves expert in the field. COOK delivers really high quality ready meals to your door and has a wealth of delicious and inspiring meat-free options."

It’s great to see that there are now so many delicious vegetarian options out there and lots of creative veggie recipes. We like to think that we’ve been doing our bit for 'flavour, versatility and innovation' in vegetarian food too by setting our development chefs to work in the kitchen, cooking up a meat-free storm - and it's always lovely to get a little recognition. 

Editor of Cook Vegetarian Magazine, Fae Gilfillan commented, “With a whopping 500 products entering the Veggie Awards this year, it's clear vegetarian foods are only becoming more and more mainstream. Plus, we're seeing more 'v' labels on all foods […] great news for strict veggies but bad news for the 1,716 people who voted as it was harder than ever to select who should win from the top quality short-listed treats.”
